A song by Seal named ‘Kiss From a Rose’, as we are sure, is listened by millions of people every day. It has already been included in various collections of the most erotic and romantic songs that create the right mood for the striptease or act of love in the night spend with your lover, etcetera.
But did you know that the song was originally written and performed to be a background to the ‘Batman Forever’ movie starring Nicole Kidman and Val Kilmer with the participation of Jim Carrey as the bad guy, the Joker?
If you follow the clip attentively enough, you may feel a little disagreement with the fact that the car of a Batman can ride the vertical walls, which is pretty obvious at the moment of 1 minutes and 15 seconds.
Nicole Kidman was under the protectorate of her husband at that time, Tom Cruise, so she had several supporting and the main roles, which led her to the Oscar.
The performer associates himself with the main hero of this film, with a Batman when he has the smooth transition from the scene with an almost naked torso of a hero to his own torso. You know, we don't insist on anything particularly but we just wondering maybe this series of Batman can be the worst in the series about this hero? Batman here revolves around the personal charm of Nicole Kidman and the treacherous antagonist in the face of Jim Carrey. But what we actually remember from the clip made by Seal besides that?
You know, it was some sort of investigation done in 2016 to compare the effectiveness of all super heroes. The Batman turned out the weakest superhero among all the superheroes that have ever populated your head. Apart from this, a song by Seal named 'Kiss From A Rose' is absolutely powerful creation and if you have never seen this Batman movie but you’ve heard a song, you should be totally aware of the fact that the movie was largely popularized thanks to this song, but the song absolutely freely can exist without the connection to the movie.
Believe it or not, but the song was recorded in 1994 so it is aged almost 23 years now! It is also included in two albums – the first one is made by Seal and named ‘Seal II’, and the second one is the soundtrack from the movie named ‘Batman Forever’. The soundtrack has a little more favorite songs, besides the song by Seal. The first one is 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me' by U2. It also was not actually connected to the film so it has the own destiny. The second one was 'Smash It Up' by The Offspring. There were 14 songs on the soundtrack but you have heard probably of only three of them – the ones that we have already listed in this review just now.
If to speak about the chart positions, it was number one in two countries – Australia and the US. It was one-time platinum and several times gold in different countries but it didn’t prevent this song entering the most loved songs for romantic collections. Basically, this is the only thing by Seal that you may know.
